Lately,
as one of our main correspondents has been immersing himself in the practice of automotive retail sales, he has been finding out some very interesting things with regard to brand loyalties, financial decision making, and notions of ownership in general.
The act of owning something, as it is commonly understood, seems to involve the sense of power one gains by acqiring a piece of property, an object which will enhance one's ability to live in the world, to make of the world around them what one wants. It involves a certain affinity for the object one is to own, perhaps, a sense that this object is an extension of ones inner being.
Our correspondent has been a bit flummoxed in that he has found there are less and less persons who manifest these thought patterns as they associate to the automobile, but the feeling has not completely died out yet.
Is there any truth to this notion, is there a relevant point to be made about the sense of ownership of a vehicle and whether that will change in the coming years, decades even?
We have found a fantastic blog that features articles that speak of the notions of value, ownership, and the future of developed economies as they relate to the notions of value and ownership that we are traditionally accustomed to.
Here is the link;
